Just weeks ago Bruce had a skin cancer scare when red spots appeared on his nose. After confirming that the red spots were sun damage, he had a procedure done to remove them.

“Nobody wears sunblock back then. It’s a Basal cell carcinoma, which is a—basically it is a skin cancer, because it doesn’t heal.” “On the nose, I had a little red spot…The problem with the nose is, there’s no skin to cover it up, to cover up the hole. Then I had to go to a plastic surgeon and he does this whole procedure where he…cuts the skin off your nose and replaces it. So it’s a little bit more complicated just to fill the stupid little hole,” he said.

With the cancer scare behind him, Brenner was ready to race on Friday alongside his friend Patrick Dempsey who raced in the American Le Mans Series.

Patrick Dempsey is the star of Grey’s Anatomy and has always had an interest in racing.

“I’ve always loved cars and racing and speed,” said Dempsey.

Dempsey and his racing partner Andy Lally were able to snag 6th place in the in the Oak Tree Grand Prix at Virginia International Raceway.
